* Important Change: Importing a dump from a MySQL 5.7
server to a server running MySQL 8.0 often failed with
ER_WRONG_VALUE_FOR_VAR when an SQL mode not supported by
the 8.0 server was used. This could happen frequently due
to the fact that NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER is enabled by
default in MySQL 5.7 but not supported in MySQL 8.0.
The behavior of the server in such circumstances now
depends on the setting of the pseudo_slave_mode system
variable.

Starting with 5.6.11, Microsoft Windows packages for MySQL 5.6
are available both as a "full" installer and as a "web" installer.
The full installer is significantly larger and comes bundled with
the latest software releases available.

I have a query regarding encryption-at-rest feature in MySQL Community Edition -

What i understand is that Encryption-at-rest is supported from MySQL-5.7.11 community edition and only on file-per-table basis which means encryption at table-level can be implemented - is that correct ?

Also, if you can help us understand the security compliance requirements (like PCI-DSS etc.) this encryption can satisfy, that would be great. Thanks in advance !

I'm trying to configure replication of a mysql5.1 database master server
to a mysql8.0 database server.
But the replication connection will not succeed.

I don't believe the issue is directly related to replication, because
any connection attempt from mysql8.0 to mysql5.1 fails as follows.
As run from the mysql8.0 server:
$ mysql -h db5.1server.mydomain.com -u my_user -p
Enter password:
ERROR 1043 (08S01): Bad handshake

Given the following bug report, what I am trying to do does not sound
hopeful:

I have a question about mysql open tables and open_table_cache which I do not seem to be finding the answer to on the internet.

We are busy investigating an issue on a server where we have erattic behaviour.

During the times when it experiences issues, I found that there is always about 4-5 processes on mysql that gets stuck on "closing table" state and once the software (opensips) is restarted due to a sigfault, then these queries are killed as well.
